Chapter 539 (1/2)
”Well, with a little effort, we can dig out an ice cave here, and then find a lot of fresh meat and hot broth from the ice cave.” Liu Qian smiled. Now he also wanted to eat some barbecue, drink some broth and eat those compressed foods, so that birds would fade out of his mouth.
When Liu Gan came out of the Liaison Station, he found some strong silk threads and took some iron ribbons from the iron wire bed. At this time, they all came in handy. He used these wires to make a fish hook, which was hooked with the greasy rabbit meat removed from the rabbit. After all the iron hooks were threaded together with silk thread, he tied some small stones he had collected at the front of the line, and then put the small stones with thread into the excavated ice cave and slowly hung down.
Several hooks are tied to a silk thread, so that you can catch fish at various depths under the ice.
As long as there is water, there are fish. Even if it is covered with ice and snow, there will still be unfrozen water under the lake. There must be many kinds of fish in such a large lake. They are also very hungry now. They will like the fat rabbit meat on the hook, which can provide a lot of energy for their bodies.
The water of Binghu lake was very deep, and the fish line was pulled in before the stone came to the end. Liu Gan asked the team members to cut down some branches, and the other end of the rope was tied to a long branch, so they didn't worry that the fish line would be pulled away by the fish hooked inside.
”Can you catch fish? Will there be fish soup soon?” Guo Tian and Zhang Mengdi looked forward to the ice cave.
”Not so fast. We need to dig many ice caves to find enough food. But now the ice cave has not been completed, and we need to plug some branches into the ice cave. Now it is snowing again, and the ice cave is easy to freeze again. Once the ice cave is frozen again and the fishing line is frozen, we can't get out even if we catch fish.” Liu Qian said and stuffed some branches with leaves into the ice cave.
”I've learned a lot from Master Liu!” Guo Tian's face was convinced. If it weren't for Liu Qian, he couldn't have thought that he could find meat here in this way.
After making the first ice cave for fishing. Liu Qian dug more than ten such ice caves every few meters nearby. In each ice cave, fishing lines hung down, and then he took the people away. So many hooks. It's impossible for too many fish to take the bait for a while. It's meaningless to stay here.
Liu Qian decided to go back to reorganize and reinforce the camp while the snow was not too heavy. Once the snow was too heavy, the current snow shed of the camp might not withstand the attack of the snowstorm. People will be frozen tonight.
The reinforcement of the camp mainly uses the nearby snow to build a thick snow wall with wide bottom and narrow top around the camp, and then cut down more branches. They are firmly bound to the four trees around the camp with bark, covering one layer after another. As long as these branches used for the roof are not blown away by the storm, people will not be exposed to the storm.
After all this, the wind and snow did not get bigger, but weakened. Just when Liu Qian was ready to check whether he caught fish in the ice lake. Two eagles appeared in the sky, whistling in the high sky.
”It seems that fish is not the only food today.” Liu Qian looked up and was very happy when he saw the two eagles.
